اُردوEn
عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الْوُضُوءِ فَأَرَاهُ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا، قَالَ: ((هَذَا الْوُضُوءُ، فَمَنْ زَادَ عَلَى هَذَا فَقَدْ أَسَاءَ وَتَعَدَّى وَظَلَمَ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Bedouin came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and was asking about ablution. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) demonstrated ablution to him by washing each part three times and said: "This is ablution. Whoever washes more than this has done wrong, has exceeded the limit, and has committed injustice."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … From all the narrations on this subject, it is understood that the limbs of ablution (wudu) may be washed once, twice, or three times, and it is also permissible that in a single ablution, some limbs are washed once, some twice, and some three times. It is not permissible to exceed three times.
